Acetone-d6 may be used as a deuterated solvent in the 1H NMR spectral studies of iodine containing radiopaque poly(methacrylate)copolymers. It may also be used as a source of deuterium atoms in the synthesis of labelled sterols.
Acetone-d6 may be used as an internal standard to detect aldehydes and acetone in water by headspace-solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Isotope labelled Acetone is a common organic building block in organic chemistry.
ChEBI: A deuterated compound that is acetone in which all six hydrogen atoms are replaced by deuterium.
Acetone-d6 can be prepared by reacting heavy water with propyne-d4 in the presence of mercury catalyst.
